Axxess’ rapid growth in market share among home health agencies over the past seven years is due to a purposeful strategy that cultivates innovation every day. Managing our in-house engineers using an Agile-SCRUM development process, the engineering team operates with shared values associated with what we call the four A’s – Actions, Architecture, Atmosphere and Associations.
Through actions, our engineers strive daily to achieve operational excellence focused on on-time delivery to exceed client needs. The solution architecture is created with the best technology as a foundation, and designed with the goal of creating platforms that are simple and stable, sustainable and scalable, and operate with maximum performance and at peak condition. Our engineers work in an enjoyable atmosphere of collaboration that enables them to learn and share insights to achieve outstanding results. And it is all done by achieving meaningful associations with colleagues through mutual trust and respect that result in equitable and fair relationships.
Accountability and Creativity
This foundation enables our engineering team to operate in a rewarding environment that is transparent and collegial. Axxess has created a custom “wiki” website, through which every stage of product development is recorded and shared. We have a continuing record of each step in the process of finding the best possible solutions so everyone on the engineering team is literally on the same page. Through documenting the evolution of each product, we all learn and grow with a sense of accountability to each other.
As an organization focused on continual learning and development, we regularly send engineers to participate in industry events such as the Agile Testing and Test Automation Summit and MVP Mix, to name a few. At the same time, each quarter the engineers exercise their individual creativity through two “innovation days,” during which they are encouraged to work on any challenge of their choosing, regardless of whether it is related to an Axxess project. This “technology-first” mindset has led Axxess to be recognized by Computerworld as the “Best Place to Work in IT” for three consecutive years.
Meeting Industry Needs
Since launching our flagship and market-leading AgencyCore home health software in 2011, Axxess has continued to innovate and upgrade to make it the best, most easy-to-use agency management platform in the industry. In recent years, Axxess has also developed a complete suite of integrated solutions, including AxxessDDE, which simplifies Medicare billing and claims management; AxxessEVV, which incorporates GPS technology to help agencies verify visits at the point of care to remain compliant with regulation and avoid fraud; and AxxessCAHPS, the state-of-the-art patient engagement and quality measurement tool that helps agencies identify ways to improve patient outcomes and grow their business. We also have created Axxess HomeCare, the only home care software that can help any home care agency with skilled, pediatrics or private pay requirements.
A Leader In Innovation
Setting the standard for innovation, Axxess is:
- The first and only home health technology provider to provide native mobile apps for all mobile devices.
- The first technology provider to integrate OASIS patient assessments and documentation on any mobile device, enabling clinicians to productively work from anywhere at any time.
- The first software vendor to be approved to provide CMS-approved patient engagement surveys.
- The only provider to deliver Electronic Visit Verification solutions on all mobile platforms, enabling organizations to verify visits at the point of care.
- Among only three Network Service Providers with a direct connection to CMS for transmitting Medicare claims.
More innovations with our in-house software developers are on the way. Our free staffing solution AxxessCARE connects agencies with qualified clinicians to provide timely care anywhere and at any time. It is currently in a pilot program in Texas and we expect to roll it out nationwide later this year. Addressing industry issues like helping solve the staffing shortage that is a continuing challenge, Axxess is committed to lead the industry in finding solutions to help improve lives.
